EMPIRE AIR MAILS.
AUSTRALIAN LINK. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 17. According to advice received by the Acting-Director of the Post and Telegraph Department (Mr J. Robertson) little hope is entertained by the Australian postal authorities of the present weekly air mail seviee from England to Singapore being extended to Australia much before the end of the current year. New Zealand is vitally interested in this extension, for the Government has agreed to subsidise the completed service to the extent of £SOOO. Three-fifths of this sum will be paid to the British Government and two-fifths to the Australian Government.
